The factors we can assess are Religion, social and economic and finally foreign policy.

11 December 2014 Drowning in the Discourse Julie Wildhaber says that “A strong, well-defined voice is the bridge between you and your audience: It helps your readers understand who you are, and it helps you engage them” (Wildhaber).

Justine Likuka Student #: S669567 Advanced Old Testament Survey Assignment #:1 Essay Submitted October 15, 2014 Introduction I was greatly thrilled and enjoyed my time reading “A Journey Through the Old Testament” by Elmer Towns. His approach to the subject made interesting reading and raised my interest to dig deeper on the topic. His opening remarks are fascinating as he says “Certain people make history.

This paper will analyze the style in which Fergusson has utilized the three tools as an effective means of putting forth his argumentum, in his persuasive film titled “Inside Job”.
